Chapter 3 Mysterious Tom
"Great Starclan Leafpool you look like you've seen a ghost" gasped Dovewing dropping her squirrel on the ground to help the poor stumbling she cat. Leafpool shook her head. " Dovewing cannot know what happened" Leafpool thought.
"I-I-I'm fine I-I just saw...uh...uh loner watching me hunt..ya...a loner...tom. He startled me that's all" Leafpool lied shaking her pelt. Guilt gnawed at her heart it felt so wrong lying to Dovewing.
"A LONER!"Screeched Dovewing. "Do you think he meant harm!" Dovewing glanced at her swollen stomach nervously. Leafpool pawed the ground anxiously as well.
"er-no. No I don't think he meant harm"
"What tom in the right mind would watch a she cat hunt!" Dovewing yelped. She picked up the squirrel and started to run off.
"What is going on here" Boomed a voice. Leafpool and Dovewing turned around. Bramblestar glanced at the two she cat.
"A loner Bramblestar! A loner was watching Leafpool hunt!" Dovewing yelped. Fear light Squirrelflight's eyes. Lionblaze sniffed the air nervously.
"Oh Bramblestar we must get rid of this loner! What about Oakkit, Featherkit, Flamekit and Shimmerkit!" Bramblestar licked Squirrelflight's ear.
"Sandstorm is watching them don't worry" He meowed. Leafpool felt a sickening pit where her stomach was supposed to be. "What have I done. I upset Lionblaze, Bramblestar, Squirrelflight and Dovewing"
"I will check to make sure it was not a Shadowclan or Windclan spy" Lionblaze dashed off into the undergrowth. Leafpool closed her eyes. Lionblaze would find out that she was lying she knew it.
"Leafpool are you alright?" Squirrelflight meowed her eyes gleaming with concern, her orange fluffy tail rested on Leafpools shoulder.
"Y-Yes I'm fine just a bit spooked that's all" Leafpool managed to say. "My kits will die, if their not already dead. Why me Starclan Why must MY kits be part of a prophecy"
"Maybe Jayfeather or Briarlight should look at you?" Bramblestar meowed looking over his shoulder for Lionblaze. Lionblaze hurled himself through a bramble bush.
"It was a tom alright a loner tom" Lionblaze panted. Leafpool gasped in fright. There really was a tom watching her and she never noticed. Fear prickled her pelt.
"C-Can I go rest" Leafpool choked out. This was too much. She was too confused. Too tired. But mostley too scared to do anything. Lionblaze padded over and licked her ear.
"You should rest. Jayfeather should look at you though" Lionblaze meowed worriedly.
"I just need to rest" Leafpool meowed. Bramblestar dipped his head.
"Dovewing you should head back too." Bramblestar meowed. Dovewing picked up her squirrel and Leafpools mouse before padding off. Bramblestar lifted his head to the sky. He sniffed the air a few times. "Let's make sure that the tom is gone" he meowed before running off with Squirrelflight and Lionblaze. Leafpool cringed, she was alone. The wind picked up and howled slightly. Leafpool looked around she could feel she was being watched. She whipped her head around and cried out in sheer terror. There just behind an oak was the tom.
